Young people ages 13-24 — many of them from the South and West sides of the city — participated in small table discussions. At one table, a young woman asked, “How are you supposed to get a college education when you have to take care of three kids and a home?” — urging the city to offer monetary assistance to those pursuing community college. Another added that helping young parents with child care should also be prioritized.
Oops, I forgot about working your way through college — not borrowing your way thru then stiffing the taxpayers.

I appreciate the young woman with THREE children asking how can she attend college, but that may have been something to think about before having THREE children.
You can pay her to be on welfare or to attend college. The latter also will allow her income taxes to rise partly to your benefit. So, moral sensibilities aside, what’s the smarter move here?
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Hmm, in the old days you got an education, then a job, then got married, then had 3 kids.

Smarter move is supporting abort**n.
For the mom or the kids?
This is a strawman argument. There are other options.
